Hermes,
Thanks for the response. First, let me say that the 'right thing' often
depends on who you talk to and how you phase the question. Second, the
reason to use Yenc is that it compresses the post to reduce the size. This
is not an issue with plain text as they are only a few thousand bytes
rather than megabytes in size. I'll even question whether yenc compression
of jpeg files (which are already compressed) save very much. I know that
[win]zipping jpeg is not space saving. That all said, let me continue.
I'm not personally familiar with your program, Yenc Power Post, but the
easiest way would be if there was an option 'post normal' rather than 'post
yenc encoded'.
I note that you posted your response in plain text mode using Agent. Then
you have all the capability that you need. Just use Agent next time.
Further, I note that you 'ping'ed me rather than just replying to my post.
That started a new thread and kept the two parts separate. Note that I
used Agent to reply to your post in both cases so that my replied are
linked to your posts. This makes following interchanges easier assuming
that you have your newsreader set to show all post (not just unread ones)
and use threading.
If you are not using Agent to read the newsgroup, you can still do this. In
your Yenc agent get the post to reply to, find the message id in the
measure header (you should have a way to do this). Then back in Agent
start a new message and paste that message id in. Then right click it and
tell Agent to get the message. When you have it, you can reply to it.
At the risk of being a gadfly, I note that this is a binary group. Although
binary posts in text groups is a big no-no, that certainly is not true the
other way around. But, people who don't read binaries, might like your
stories and you might want to consider posting in one of those groups. The
most general one that comes to mind assuming that you have some erotic
content is <alt.sex.stories.moderated>. It is essentially free of spam and
cross-posts to <alt.sex.stories> (full of spam) for greater distribution.
There is a companion group <alt.sex.stories.d> for discussions.
HTH
